Can anyone explain me what's the reason having 15 hrs play time when you only can store 20 MB of audio?? 20 MB is like.... 20 minutes of MP3 maybe. I'm sure I would NOT like to listen _any_ song for 40th(!) time in a day or two.
While generally I agree there is still an issue of some people _not_checking_ SlashDot every hour (or even every day for that matter). It's like complaining about TV: "Shit, they still show the same news in 9pm program that they did in 7pm program, bastards".;)
Well - if (as another poster noted) typing "linux reiserfs" at boot prompt indeed does work, then obviously that'd be the preferred method. Still - it's really not big a problem for one to press Ctrl-Alt-F2 to escape from installation GUI to console and create/format reiserfs partition(s) manually - all the needed tools are on the path. Yes - RedHat being stubborn regarding ReiserFS amazes me. Yes - Reiser rules big time;)
They are all base 10 prefixes when measuring "analogue" units. I'm not sure it's right to use them w/ bytes (in a sense that it's not quite right to use them for "megabucks" etc..) but since we do use them w/ bytes the standard _for bytes_ is to measure w/ base 2 prefixes. Always has been. Always will be. Get over it. It's a standard in an "industry standard" sense at least. If someone thinks that base 10 should be used - well - it's their problem. BTW: Would you also like "millibytes" etc?;)
Well, I do not think that Free Software is "about community". My take is that FS is about understanding that to get (free) help you need to help others too (see: Usenet). And otherwise being on your own each one of us is of much lesser value/capacity that when we are helped by others. Like in form of FS, for example.
And apparently all the graphics you embed in your MSOffice docs (well, maybe not _yours_ but still) are streamed as PNG inside that "OLE storage" format. Hm...
To which I say: who cares? As long as people (managers) will be confusing the things. (Like: "Firebird DB? Must be from the same guys that do Firebird Browser. I tried that, didn't like it. Hence - we are not using the DB." etc...).
Look - those Phoenix guys _need_ to change the name because there was (still is?) a "Phoenix" _BIOS_. Ok - they change it to Firebird. Huh? There is an open source SQL DB? So - WTF... They are the same hippy open source punks just like us so it's no problem that we walk over them. What an attitude!

PS: (Pre)Moderation for the stories, now!!
An old one:
.....
Train stops at train-station,
Bus stops at bus-stations,
Work stops
I hope they are not full of spikes.

Wow... insightful! Now my PC has 536.870912 MB of RAM. It's so much cooler than 512.000000 MB. Thank you very much!
Well, if you don't ever run it then what's there for you to complain about?

Well, I definitely did not cracked up when you read that. ;)
If only they had balls to bring it to x86.

Eh.... May I try?...
Ok, Mod me down everyone!
Maybe they thought about Skwyalker? ;)
Practical Extraction and Reporting Language -> PERL. Huh? Not?
How does one set +x attribute on a attached file, huh?

A Pentium processor is 10 somewhere around these days (don't remember exactly ;)
There coding skills maxed out at that. Apparently.
Slashdot sells 10 subscriptions in a week time!
WTF is this: http://slashdot.org/subscribe.pl ?!?!
Yes, I know it's offtopic.
MP3 _is_ terrorism.

How about Apache Navigator, PHP Explorer or plain simple MySQL?
:)
But I guess Phallus is still a popular favorite.

D'oh!
